We help you deliver cost-effective results for your clients by performing time-consuming tasks such as novelty searches, research, and document review at reasonable, fixed-fee rates. Our effective, affordable patent filing and prosecution services help mitigate the cost of global patent protection for non-US patent firms and their clients.

Novelty,
State-of-the-Art, Invalidity, and Freedom-to-Operate Searches.

Document search results can have tremendous influence on how a project, such as drafting and prosecuting a patent application, is approached and ultimately accomplished. For that reason, it is important that search results are analyzed in light of the relevant patent law, not simply by keywords alone. Our strong legal and technical backgrounds combined with an affordable pricing structure give law firms and corporate legal departments a dependable resource that can provide significant savings in time - and money. Our search reports are easy to read and designed with the IP professional in mind.

Document Review.

We offer scalable teams of master- and Ph.D.-level scientists and patent agents to review your documents with the utmost scrutiny. Our custom-built review teams provide flexibility in budget considerations and ensure that your documents are being examined by professionals who recognize technological nuances that are often overlooked.

Consulting.

Prosecution and litigation divisions can benefit from our expertise in a wide range of scientific disciplines. Underwood & Associates is particularly experienced in the fields of optics, lasers, nanotechnology, medical devices, and spectroscopy.

Expert Witnesses.

Underwood & Associates maintains a growing database of expert witnesses from a wide range of disciplines. We recognize experts who can engage their audience and translate difficult scientific principles into easily understood concepts. We begin with understanding your case needs, then provide summaries and resumes of outstanding expert witness candidates for you to choose from.
